This dunk thrown down by 5-foot-5 high school basketball player Melvin Lee is cruel and unusual punishment that has no place in our American educational system.

Just kidding. MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.

Lee is a 5-foot-5 junior guard at Riverside University High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, according to the college recruiting site NY2LA Sports. No one had really heard of him until this week, when his dunk over two defenders in a Riverside game became a viral highlight online.

It's as impressive as any in-game dunk you'll ever see. It might even beat out this slam by a University of Texas freshman for dunk of the year -- prep, college or pro. Let's take our first look.

Oh, God.

Oh. Oh. Oh. God. That's unreal.

Now here's another angle, where we get a very nice reaction shot of Lee's coaches and teammates losing their minds in unison after he throws it down.

Now here's that first angle again, but more close-up and on an infinite Vine loop.

The names of Lee's victims have been redacted from this report, because no teenager should have to live with such shame for the rest of his days.

If you go back and watch that first video again, you'll notice the voice of a stunned spectator just over 10 seconds in. In shock after witnessing Lee's dunk in person, his reaction speaks for the rest of us who have become enraptured online. The fan's question is simple, succinct and spot-on: "What the f*ck?"
